Every time I’ve acquired something that 10/15/20-yo me wanted long after that era has passed, I’ve ended up disappointed somehow. Don’t meet your heroes and all that.

I bought an expensive gi joe book with pictures of all the toys and vehicles and ephemera and it definitely scratched the itch
I’m about to do the same with a transformers book

Are you guys trying to tell me that finishing my 1x1 build and taking it to the pump track won’t make me feel 21 again?
well that depends, did you ever take the 15mm wrench out of your saddle bag?

They joy of going along with a young kiddo offsets the chagrin of not being able to recapture youth yourself. Let it go. Be the pump track dad you were meant to.

I never did but someone stole my saddle bag with my Surly Jethro Tule in it and I never replaced it. That was truly the end of an era for me.

I’ve still got mine somewhere. I kept it on me for years even though I hated it every time I needed to use it.

It was hard to get a good perspective on this, but saw this gigantic & minty CAAD5 at the co-op today.
Hard to even guess but somewhere around 65cm?
